What makes painting in Cardiff different
Victorian sash windows
Cathays and Roath terraces have original sashes that need careful prep — bead removal, knot-blocking and water-based satinwood for non-yellowing white.
Lime plaster on period walls
Painting modern emulsion straight onto lime plaster causes peeling. We use breathable mist coats and matched topcoats.
Cardiff Bay apartment specs
New-build apartments often have spec finishes from developers that need careful colour matching for repairs and refreshes.
Heavy footfall hallways
Period terrace hallways take heavy wear — we use wipeable mid-sheen finishes that handle scuffs and cleaning.
